The policy discloses user data rights including access, rectification, portability, erasure, and objection to processing, which align with GDPR and CCPA statutory rights. Users can exercise these rights through the Meta Privacy Center.
Interpretive note: The practical scope of the erasure right is constrained by the account-deletion dependency described elsewhere in the policy; it is not fully clear from the document whether Threads-specific data can be deleted independently of the Instagram account through the rights request process.
The updated policy removes FAQ sections that previously addressed how to deactivate or delete a profile, manage personal information, and share data with third parties. Additionally, the policy removes explicit language disclosing that 'Your interactions with AIs will be used to improve AI at Meta' and removes the direction to review Meta's AI terms. Users no longer have these FAQ resources in the policy document, though this change does not necessarily alter the underlying practices or rights; it only removes the documented guidance.
